Chapter 9-A song for their loves

Sirius found James sitting in front of the fire in the common room, deep in thought and worry. "hey Sirius," James said, not taking his eyes from the fire. "Why is it so hard for a red head to admit their feelings?" James asked. Sirius shrugged and sat next to his friend. "Their strong, bold, prideful, beautiful in their own ways," Sirius said.

James laughed. "You've really changed. If you hadn't met Ginny you would have said 'cause they're always on their monthlies' or something like that. What's your reason?" James asked raising his eyebrow. "I don't know really, she is I guess. She lets me know how imperfect I am and how everyone else is the same, she's different and makes me feel different than other girls have and I feel this immediate trust and challenge in her," Sirius said. "That's exactly how Lily makes me feel, it's just, everyone laughs at me and claims she has me on a leash and she doesn't even want me, y'know?" James said. Sirius nodded. "I have had the constant feeling she hates me but this little spark of hope and determination keeps me going back for more," James said.

"Y'know, we can help each other," Sirius said. "How?" James asked. "Well, I love Ginny and-" "You love Ginny?" James said incredulously. He grinned ",I knew it." Sirius pretended he hadn't said anything. "and you love Lily, I want to write or sing a song to her and you want to capture Lily's heart. This is gonna take at least a week to set up y'know, there are expenses and a room and stuff, thank god it's Saturday" Sirius said rubbing his chin. "Do tell me more," James said…

1 week later, early morning

Ginny and Lily sat chatting happily with Hermione about this and that. The girls turned to make a conversation with the marauders and were shocked to see them with their head bent low, large packages with them trying to sneak out of breakfast shooting nervous glances at the girls. "What was that about?" Lily asked. "No idea," Hermione said quickly. Lily and Ginny raised their eyebrows but asked no more questions.

Now they were really worried, they hadn't seen all the boys all day and that could mean they were in trouble or something wicked this way comes. Lily and Ginny sat on opposite ends of the table in hope of spotting the boys during dinner. Ginny didn't eat anything and she had the feeling Lily hadn't either. Two raven black owls flew in and dropped a pink note and red rose in front of Ginny and a lily in front of Lily (A/N: I know so plain). She picked up the rose and put it in her hair. Ginny looked around to check for onlookers and opened her letter. There was elegant silver writing on the inside.

Ginny,

Go to the west hall. There will be another note.

Ginny listened without another glance at the note. She walked down the west hall and saw three flights of stairs. On the center stairs there was a red heart shaped box of candy and another note.

Ginny

Having fun yet? Keep going up the stairs, another note is there for you.

She went up seven flights of stairs and there was a silver necklace with a small emerald in it and a new note. She admired the necklace before she put it on. This was getting fun.

Ginny,

Sorry if this is Slytherin-ish, but it is almost as beautiful as you. Go to your left and keep walking.

Ginny was completely excited. She walked to the left and saw a note in front of a door and a rather expensive silver and emerald hairclip. She put it on the opposite side of the rose.

Ginny,

This is just part of a nice surprise in here. Open the door.

Ginny opened the door of the dark room. She saw a light switch, which seemed rather bizarre. She flicked it and gasped. There was a full length vanity with hundreds of lotions and combs and brushes but surprising, only on type of blush, lipstick, mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow, not to mention one nail polish. Ginny looked at the chair and there was a black dress. She put it on, it was a perfect fit. It went halfway to her thighs and it had long sleeves that flared out at the ends, on the back it had buttons that you tie the spaghetti straps to. Their was also a pair of pantyhose that blended with her skin and a pair of emerald green high heels with a spaghetti strap that went all the way up her calf, it matched perfectly with the hairclip, rose and necklace. She picked a deep red lipstick and a perfume that reminded her of a jasmine and saw a note at the door. She reached down to grab it, but it slipped out under the door. Ginny opened the door and followed the note to another door, she could have sworn was familiar.

Ginny then met up with Lily. She had an Easter lily in her hair, which was tied in a pony tail by a white bow, a white dress, white heels, a box of candy, a golden chain with a single diamond and she had on simple glitter and a rose colored lipstick. She smiled at Ginny and the opened the door together.

Ginny gaped at what she saw. It was a large room with two small tables a stage and, as Ginny noticed when a petal landed on her nose, it was somehow raining rose petals. Ginny took the table to the left which her note had gone to and sat down rather interested at this attention. Unless someone launched a nuclear warhead, nothing could spoil this moment for her. She heard a soft guitar playing and looked forward. The stage lit up to show. 'Sirius?!' Ginny looked bewildered and ecstatic. It lit slowly to show all of the marauders in white suits each wearing a bowlers hat with a black band, James and Sirius in front with a bass guitar and an electric. Remus was behind them with another electric, slightly in front of Peter who was playing a drum set.

I'm not a perfect person. there are many things I wish I didn't do
but I continue learning. I never meant to do those things to you.
and so I have to say before I go, that I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt, its something I must live with everyday
and all the pain I put you through, I wish that I could take it all away
and be the one who catches all your tears, that's why I need you to hear

I'm not a perfect person, I never meant to do those things to you
and so I have to say before I go that I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show a side of me you didn't know
a reason for all that I do, and the reason is you.

"Lily," James said, jumping off the stage. "Ginny," Sirius said. They approached the tables, holding their hands. They looked deep into their eyes and said, "I love you." (A/N: okay girls, cry, faint, whatever) There was clapping in the background from Remus and Peter. "Bugger off you two," Sirius said to the two marauders. Remus grinned. "Whatever you say, lover boy," He said. He blew a raspberry and left the room with Peter tagging behind, smiling at his friends. "By Romeos," He said. "Since when did you get so brave?" James said. Peter bolted out of the room.

Sirius sat down across from Ginny and snapped his fingers, not losing her gaze. Two silver plates appeared in front of them which had lobster with lemon butter sauce, fettuccini alfredo, and steamed broccoli. "Bon Appetit," he said smiling. Ginny looked bedazzled. "You are just amazing," Ginny breathed. "Thanks, I do try," He said. "You look beautiful as usual," he said noting her outfit. "All thanks to you," Ginny said smiling. 'I think James is a woman, he picked her clothes and makeup and it looks perfect, gotta thank him later. But I did pick Lil's soo…' Sirius was pulled out of his thought when Ginny commented on the food. "Thanks, made it myself," Sirius said. "No way," Ginny said disbelievingly. "Really, you can't live around James' gran and not learn to cook," Sirius said. Ginny laughed. 'She looks so pretty when she laughs.' When they finished, two large desert cups of butterscotch pudding and devil's food cake appeared. "Mmm, butterscotch pudding is my favorite," Ginny said. "Mine's too," Sirius said. 'I am now a firm believer of James true sexuality, gotta confront him later about that. Butterscotch pudding? Woman's choice, ah but it is delicious.'

After dessert they just talked about anything and everything. "Me and James really want to become Aurors when we graduate, y'know get our training and whatever," Sirius said. "Me, I'm gonna just hang with the dream team for a good while, until the war is over," Ginny said. "If I live through it," she added as an after thought. "Dream Team?" Sirius said. "Oh, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They're always standing up against Voldermort, I've seen him personally 4 times," Ginny said counting on her fingers. Sirius raised his eyebrow, "isn't that kinda dangerous, how about a nice job with the ministry or something?" Sirius offered. "I don't really like the law that much, they've screwed me around too many times, and they're mainly lap dogs anyway. I'd only go if Dumbledore is Minister of Magic, and that is not gonna happen," Ginny said. Sirius shrugged it off. "I hope you don't mind some light champagne, I chose my favorite for this occasion," Sirius offered. "Great, not trying to get me drunk I see. Couldn't with champagne anyway," Ginny said. "I wouldn't want you drunk, that's cheating," Sirius said winking.

A bottle later

Ginny was amused as a slightly tipsy Sirius talked nonstop about Severus Snape. "And if I see him later I'm gonna tell him he is a butthead," Sirius said. "Your funny when you're drunk," Ginny said. "And your beautiful anytime, plus I am not drunk, if I was I wouldn't do this," Sirius leaned in and kissed Ginny, his left hand cupping her right cheek and caressing it gently with his thumb. There was a loud shout of "Finally!" from the next table. "Maybe we should go somewhere without an audience," Ginny whispered seductively. "Couldn't agree more," Sirius said. With that they left, Ginny holding Sirius hand and leading him out the room and up several flights of stairs. She stopped at a wall and waked back and forth 3 times. A door appeared and Sirius opened it.

Inside there was a blue room with a king sized bed in the middle and a love seat. The moment the door closed Sirius began to smother Ginny in kisses, leading her eagerly to the bed. He removed his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt. He began unbuttoning her dress. "Are you sure you want this Ginny?" he asked looking in her eyes. Ginny nodded. He kissed her again, his tongue exploring her mouth. "I wouldn't want to do anything to hurt you, you know that," He said. "I'm not backing out of this no matter what you say," Ginny said looking in Sirius eyes. He gracefully pulled the dress off of her and said a spell on himself and then her. "Alright then," Sirius said.
